Glutathione and Pregnancy

Glutathione may not be safe for pregnant women. Even though glutathione is produced naturally in the human body, it does not automatically mean that it is safe for use during pregnancy. Because there is very little information available regarding glutathione and pregnancy, it is probably a good idea to avoid glutathione supplements if you are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant.

An Overview of Glutathione and Pregnancy

Glutathione is an antioxidant molecule that is naturally produced by the human body. It is also available as a dietary supplement. At this time, it is not known if glutathione supplements are safe for use during pregnancy.

Is Glutathione Safe During Pregnancy?

There is no evidence to suggest that glutathione is safe (or unsafe) for pregnant women. Even though glutathione is a substance that is naturally produced by the human body, it does not automatically mean that it is safe for use during pregnancy. Many naturally occurring human substances are dangerous for use during pregnancy. Until more information is available, it may be a good idea to avoid glutathione supplements if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, unless your healthcare provider recommends that you take glutathione for a specific medical reason.

Pregnancy is not a time to be experimenting with supplements or medications. It is best to stick with products that are known to be safe for pregnant women. As a dietary supplement that has been studied very little in pregnant women, glutathione is probably not one of these products. Glutathione is especially popular among practitioners of alternative medicine. If you are pregnant, it is a good idea to check with both your alternative medicine provider and your conventional healthcare provider before taking any dietary supplement, including glutathione.
